The return of Whispering Claude and friends forced to fight against each other

On today’s Totally Football Show, Iain Macintosh, James Horncastle and Carrie Dunn join AC Jimbo in the pod to ponder West Ham’s remarkable(ish) comeback in the League Cup, Leicester’s shock(ish) appointment of Claude Puel, and some tasty(ish) encounters in the Premier League. Next up, we applaud the progress of the England U17s as they reach the World Cup final in India. But while Carrie fills us in on the positive news about the growth women’s game, James H has only bad things to say about events off the field in Italy. Finally, there’s some hot chat about a Star Trek-like encounter at Liverpool, and a fair bit of Luton Town- and Ardiles era Tottenham-tinged nostalgia. Ask your parents, kids.
